Abstract
BACKGROUND Heart failure (HF) often leads to kidney injury and increased morbidity and mortality. Factors contributing to kidney injury in HF patients had not been elucidated completely. This study sought to comprehensively evaluate the risk factors and clinical features of kidney injury in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and to provide more evidence for the management of these patients. METHODS Adult patients with CHF admitted to Beijing Anzhen Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2022 to May 2022 were included in this study. The primary endpoints were the independent risk factors for the development of kidney injury. A multivariate logistic regression model was used for the exploration of the risk factors. RESULTS A total of 193 patients were included in this study, of whom 86 (44.5%) developed kidney injury. The independent risk factors for kidney injury in patients with CHF included sex (male) [odds ratio (OR): 4.30, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.72-10.7, P=0.001], hypertension (OR: 3.68, 95% CI: 1.64-8.29, P=0.001), and stroke (OR: 3.82, 95% CI: 1.25-11.6, P=0.01). Kidney injury was significantly positively correlated with age (OR: 1.03, 95% CI: 1.008-1.06, P=0.01) and potassium (OR: 3.70, 95% CI: 1.58-8.67, P=0.002), and significantly negatively correlated with angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) application (OR: 0.26, 95% CI: 0.11-0.61, P=0.001), serum albumin concentration (OR: 0.88, 95% CI: 0.81-0.96, P=0.005), hemoglobin concentration (OR: 0.97, 95% CI: 0.95-0.99, P=0.006), and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF; OR: 0.95, 95% CI: 0.92-0.98, P=0.01). CONCLUSIONS Kidney injury occurred in more than half of the patients with CHF during hospitalization. The independent risk factors for kidney injury in the CHF patients included sex (male), hypertension, and stroke. Kidney injury was positively correlated with age and serum potassium, and negatively correlated with serum albumin, hemoglobin concentration, LVEF, and ARB application.

Abstract
Cardiorenal syndrome represents a wide-spectrum disorder involving the heart and kidneys as the primary affected organs. India has an increasingly high burden of acute CRS, coinciding with the rise in global statistics. Up to 2022, approximately 46.1% of all cardiorenal patients have been diagnosed with acute CRS in India. Acute CRS involves a sudden deterioration of kidney functionalities, referred to as acute kidney injury (AKI) in acute heart failure patients. The pathophysiology of CRS involves hyperactivation of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) following acute myocardial stress. The pathological phenotype of acute CRS is associated with perturbed inflammatory, cellular, and neurohormonal markers in circulation. These complications increase the risk of mortality in clinically diagnosed acute CRS patients, making it a worldwide healthcare burden. Hence, effective diagnosis and early prevention are crucial to prevent the progression of CRS in AHF patients. Present biomarkers, such as serum creatinine (sCr), cystatin C (CysC), glomerular filtration rate (GFR), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum and/or urine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), and NT-proBNP, are clinically used to diagnose AKI stages in CRS patients but are limitedly sensitive to the early detection of the pathology. Therefore, the need for protein biomarkers is emerging for early intervention in CRS progression. Here, we summarized the cardio-renal nexus in acute CRS, with an emphasis on the present clinicopathological biomarkers and their limitations. The objective of this review is to highlight the need for novel proteomic biomarkers that will curb the burgeoning concern and direct future research trials.

Abstract
Background: This study aimed to determine whether novel and conventional cardiorenal biomarkers in patients before transcatheter aortic valve implantation may be associated with cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) type 1. Methods: Serum NT-proBNP and urine biomarkers (hepcidin-25, NGAL, IL-6) were measured before and 24 h after transcatheter aortic valve implantation. Results: 16/95 patients had CRS type 1. Those patients had longer length of stay in hospital (12.5 [9.0-16.0] vs 9.0 [8-12] days; p = 0.025) and were more frequently readmitted to hospital within 6 months after discharge (46.7 vs 15.6%; odds ratio: 4.7; 95% CI: 1.5-15.5; p = 0.007). The NT-proBNP/urine hepcidin-25 ratio (odds ratio: 2.89; 95% CI: 1.30-6.41; p = 0.009) was an independent modifier of CRS type 1. Conclusion: The NT-proBNP/urine hepcidin-25 ratio appears to be a modifier of risk of CRS type 1.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Old age was identified as a strong risk factor for acute kidney injury (AKI). Our objectives were to provide estimates of AKI, risk factors and outcomes in patients ≥ 75 years for whom data are scarce. METHODS Observational studies and randomized controlled trials between 2005 and 2021 with patients of mean or median age ≥ 75 years, reporting AKI according to current definitions. Data on AKI incidence, risk factors and mortality were analyzed separately in unselected (UC) and acute heart failure (AHF) cohorts. RESULTS Twenty-six observational studies and 4 randomized controlled trials with 51,111 UC and 25,414 AHF patients were included. Ages averaged 79.4 and 79.8 years, respectively. Pooled risk ratios (RRs) of AKI rates were 26.29% (95% confidence intervals (CI) 13.20-41.97) (UC) and 24.21% (95% CI 20.03-28.65) (AHF). In both cohorts, AKI was associated with decreased estimated glomerular filtration rate at baseline, chronic kidney disease (UC: RR 1.80 (95% CI 1.15-2.80), AHF: RR 1.51 (95% CI 1.26-1.95) and hypertension (UC: RR 1.30 (95% CI 1.09-1.56), AHF: RR 1.07 (95% CI 1.05-1.09). RRs of AKI in patients on renin-angiotensin-inhibitors were 0.87 (95% CI 0.78-0.97) and 0.88 (95% CI 0.78-0.98) in UC and AHF, respectively. AKI was consistently associated with increased risk of in-hospital mortality (UC: RR 3.15 (95% CI 2.28-4.35), AHF: RR 4.28 (95% CI 2.53-7.24). CONCLUSION AKI is frequent in patients ≥ 75 years. While reduced renal function at baseline, CKD and hypertension were associated with AKI development, renin-angiotensin-inhibitors may be protective. Older AKI patients showed higher short-term mortality rates.

Abstract
Background Organ crosstalk between the kidney and the heart has been suggested. Acute kidney injury (AKI) and acute heart failure (AHF) are well-known independent risk factors for mortality in hospitalized patients. This study aimed to investigate if these conditions have an additive effect on mortality in hospitalized patients, as this has not been explored in previous studies. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the records of 101,804 hospitalized patients who visited two tertiary hospitals in the Republic of Korea over a period of 5 years. AKI was diagnosed using serum creatinine-based criteria, and AHF was classified using International Classification of Diseases codes within 2 weeks after admission. Patients were divided into four groups according to the two conditions. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality. Results AKI occurred in 6.8% of all patients (n = 6,920) and AHF in 1.2% (n = 1,244). Three hundred thirty-one patients (0.3%) developed both conditions while AKI alone was present in 6,589 patients (6.5%) and AHF alone in 913 patients (0.9%). Among the 5,181 patients (5.1%) who died, 20.8% died within 1 month. The hazard ratio for 1-month mortality was 29.23 in patients with both conditions, 15.00 for AKI only, and 3.39 for AHF only. The relative excess risk of interaction was 11.85 (95% confidence interval, 2.43‒21.27), and was more prominent in patients aged <75 years and those without chronic heart failure. Conclusion AKI and AHF have a detrimental additive effect on short-term mortality in hospitalized patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is increasingly being seen in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and it is associated with higher short-term and long-term morbidity and mortality. Therefore, it is of paramount importance to identify those ACS patients at risk for the development of AKI. The objective of this study was to evaluate two different plasma biomarkers calprotectin and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) in early detecting the development of AKI in ACS patients. METHODS 172 ACS patients admitted to the Coronary Care Unit in Yantai Yuhuangding Hospital were prospectively enrolled. Their blood samples were obtained on admission and subjected to enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to determine the levels of novel biomarkers. The clinical data and biomarkers were recorded and analyzed. RESULTS In this study, 23 (13.4%) patients had a diagnosis of AKI. Statistical analysis demonstrated that in ACS patients with AKI, the following two biomarkers were significantly higher than these without AKI: plasma calprotectin (5942.26 ± 1955.88 ng/mL vs. 3210.29 ± 1833.60 ng/mL, p < 0.001) and plasma NGAL (164.91 ± 43.63 ng/mL vs. 122.48 ± 27.33 ng/mL, p < 0.001). Plasma calprotectin and NGAL could discriminate the development of AKI respectively with an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.864 and 0.850. A combination of the two plasma biomarkers calprotectin and NGAL could early discriminate AKI in ACS patients with an AUC of 0.898. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated a promising panel of plasma calprotectin and NGAL as early diagnostic biomarkers for AKI in ACS patients.

Abstract
Background Cardiorenal syndrome type 1 ( CRS 1) as a complication of acute myocardial infarction can lead to adverse outcomes, and a method for early detection is needed. This study investigated the individual and integrated effectiveness of amino-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (Pro-BNP), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP) as predictive factors for CRS 1 in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Methods and Results In a retrospective analysis of 2094 patients with acute myocardial infarction, risk factors for CRS 1 were analyzed by logistic regression. Receiver operating characteristic curves were constructed to determine the predictive ability of the biomarkers individually and in combination. Overall, 177 patients (8.45%) developed CRS 1 during hospitalization. On multivariable analysis, all 3 biomarkers were independent predictors of CRS 1 with odds radios and 95% confidence intervals for a 1-SD change of 1.792 (1.311-2.450) for log(amino-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide, 0.424 (0.310-0.576) for estimated glomerular filtration rate, and 1.429 (1.180-1.747) for high-sensitivity C-reactive peptide. After propensity score matching, the biomarkers individually and together significantly predicted CRS 1 with areas under the curve of 0.719 for amino-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide, 0.843 for estimated glomerular filtration rate, 0.656 for high-sensitivity C-reactive peptide, and 0.863 for the 3-marker panel (all P<0.001). Also, the integrated 3-marker panel performed better than the individual markers ( P<0.05). CRS 1 risk correlated with the number of biomarkers showing abnormal levels. Abnormal measurements for at least 2 biomarkers indicated a greater risk of CRS 1 (odds ratio 36.19, 95% confidence interval 8.534-153.455, P<0.001). Conclusions The combination of amino-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and high-sensitivity C-reactive peptide at presentation may assist in the prediction of CRS 1 and corresponding risk stratification in patients with acute myocardial infarction.

Abstract
A high mean platelet volume (MPV) level has been demonstrated to predict poor clinical outcomes in patients with cardiovascular disease. However, the relationship between MPV and mortality in patients with acute cardiorenal syndrome (ACRS) is unknown. Therefore, we investigated the predictive value of MPV for in-hospital mortality of patients with ACRS who received continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in this study.We retrospectively analyzed the demographics, etiology, severity of illness, prognosis, and risk factors of ACRS patients who underwent CRRT in our hospital from January 2009 to December 2014. Patients were classified into 2 groups based on the prognosis and timing of CRRT. The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to examine the performance of MPV in predicting in-hospital mortality. Baseline characteristics, clinical, and hematological parameters at CRRT initiation were compared between the 2 groups. Factors influencing in-hospital mortality were analyzed by univariate logistic regression analysis.The median age of patients was 74 years. Acute myocardial infarction was the most common cause of ACRS, followed by acute decompensated heart failure. The in-hospital mortality was 51.4%. Age, number of organ failure, APACHE II score, and MPV in the nonsurvivors were significantly higher than those in the survivors (P < .05). However, the cardiac function and mean arterial pressure were significantly lower in the nonsurvivors (P < .05). The prognosis of the early intervention group was better than the late-intervention group, but no significant difference was found (P > .05). The area under the curve (AUC) for in hospital mortality based on MPV was 0.735. Univariate analysis showed that age, cardiac function NYHA class, number of organ failure, APACHE II score, MAP, MPV, and use of vasopressors were associated with the prognosis of patients (P < .05).These findings suggest that the prognosis of patients with ACRS who received CRRT was poor, and MPV might be useful as a marker for predicting the in-hospital mortality of these patients.

According to the recent definition proposed by the Consensus conference on Acute Dialysis Quality Initiative Group, the term cardio-renal syndrome (CRS) has been used to define different clinical conditions in which heart and kidney dysfunction overlap. Type 1 CRS (acute cardio- renal syndrome) is characterized by acute worsening of cardiac function leading to AKI (5, 6) in the setting of active cardiac disease such as ADHF, while type - 2 CRS occurs in a setting of chronic heart disease. Type 3 CRS is closely link to acute kidney injury (AKI), while type 4 represent cardiovascular involvement in chronic kidney disese (CKD) patients. Type 5 CRS represent cardiac and renal involvement in several diseases such as sepsis, hepato - renal syndrome and immune - mediated diseases.

Incidence, Mortality and Positive Predictive Value of Type 1 Cardiorenal Syndrome in Acute Coronary Syndrome. PLoS One 2016; 11:e0167166. [PMID: 27907067 PMCID: PMC5132196 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0167166] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2016] [Accepted: 11/09/2016] [Indexed: 01/21/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine whether the risk of cardiovascular mortality associated with cardiorenal syndrome subtype 1 (CRS1) in patients who were hospitalized for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) was greater than the expected risk based on the sum of its components, to estimate the predictive value of CRS1, and to determine whether the severity of CRS1 worsens the prognosis. METHODS Follow-up study of 1912 incident cases of ACS for 1 year after discharge. Cox regression models were estimated with time to event (in-hospital death, and readmission or death during the first year after discharge) as the dependent variable. RESULTS The incidence of CRS1 was 9.2/1000 person-days of hospitalization (95% CI = 8.1-10.5), but these patients accounted for 56.6% (95% CI = 47.4-65.) of all mortality. The positive predictive value of CRS1 was 29.6% (95% CI = 23.9-36.0) for in-hospital death, and 51.4% (95% CI = 44.8-58.0) for readmission or death after discharge. The risk of in-hospital death from CRS1 (RR = 18.3; 95% CI = 6.3-53.2) was greater than the sum of risks associated with either acute heart failure (RR = 7.6; 95% CI = 1.8-31.8) or acute kidney injury (RR = 2.8; 95% CI = 0.9-8.8). The risk of events associated with CRS1 also increased with syndrome severity, reaching a RR of 10.6 (95% CI = 6.2-18.1) for in-hospital death at the highest severity level. CONCLUSIONS The effect of CRS1 on in-hospital mortality is greater than the sum of the effects associated with each of its components, and it increases with the severity of the syndrome. CRS1 accounted for more than half of all mortality, and its positive predictive value approached 30% in-hospital and 50% after discharge.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We evaluated the epidemiology and outcome of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with cardiorenal syndrome type 1 (CRS-1) and its subgroups: acute heart failure (AHF), acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and after cardiac surgery (CS). SUMMARY We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis. CRS-1 was defined by AKI (based on RIFLE, AKIN and KDIGO), worsening renal failure (WRF) and renal replacement therapy (RRT). We investigated the three most common clinical causes of CRS-1: AHF, ACS and CS. Out of 332 potential papers, 64 were eligible - with AKI used in 41 studies, WRF in 25 and RRT in 20. The occurrence rate of CRS-1, defined by AKI, WRF and RRT, was 25.4, 22.4 and 2.6%, respectively. AHF patients had a higher occurrence rate of CRS-1 compared to ACS and CS patients (AKI: 47.4 vs. 14.9 vs. 22.1%), but RRT was evenly distributed among the types of acute cardiac disease. AKI was associated with an increased mortality rate (risk ratio = 5.14, 95% CI 3.81-6.94; 24 studies and 35,227 patients), a longer length of stay in the intensive care unit [LOSICU] (median duration = 1.37 days, 95% CI 0.41-2.33; 9 studies and 10,758 patients) and a longer LOS in hospital [LOShosp] (median duration = 3.94 days, 95% CI 1.74-6.15; 8 studies and 35,227 patients). Increasing AKI severity was associated with worse outcomes. The impact of CRS-1 defined by AKI on mortality was greatest in CS patients. RRT had an even greater impact compared to AKI (mortality risk ratio = 9.2, median duration of LOSICU = 10.6 days and that of LOShosp = 20.2 days). KEY MESSAGES Of all included patients, almost one quarter developed AKI and approximately 3% needed RRT. AHF patients experienced the highest occurrence rate of AKI, but the impact on mortality was greatest in CS patients.

Increased arterial stiffness after coronary artery revascularization correlates with serious coronary artery lesions and poor clinical outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease. Cardiorenal Med 2015; 4:280-9. [PMID: 25737692 DOI: 10.1159/000369107] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2014] [Accepted: 10/05/2014] [Indexed: 02/03/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to clarify the relationship between arterial stiffness and coronary artery lesions as well as their influence on long-term outcomes after coronary artery revascularization in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). METHODS A total of 205 patients who had a coronary angiography and received coronary artery revascularization on demand were enrolled and followed up for 5 years. Demographic and clinical indicators, arterial stiffness indexes, angiographic characteristics and the Gensini score (GS) were recorded at baseline. Major adverse cardiac events (MACE), including cardiac death and repeat coronary artery revascularization, that occurred during the 5 years of follow-up were also recorded. RESULTS All indexes reflecting the degree of arterial stiffness, including PWV, C1, C2, CSBP, CDBP, AP and Aix, were significantly higher in CKD than in non-CKD patients (all p < 0.05). Patients with CKD also had a higher rate of coronary artery disease and a higher GS (p < 0.05 and p < 0.01, respectively). Logistic regression analysis revealed CKD to be an independent risk factor for increased arterial stiffness (OR = 2.508, 95% CI 1.308-4.808, p = 0.006). During follow-up, CKD patients with PWV >13 m/s or Aix@75 >30 had a significantly higher MACE occurrence rate after coronary artery revascularization (both p < 0.05). CONCLUSION These results highlight that CKD and arterial stiffness correlate with the severity of coronary artery lesions. CKD patients with impaired arterial stiffness have poor clinical outcomes, suggesting a further clinical use of the arterial stiffness index as a surrogate of worse cardiovascular prognosis in CKD than in non-CKD patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe and analyze the clinical characteristics of acute kidney injury (AKI) patients with preexisting chronic heart failure (CHF) and to identify the prognostic factors of the 1-year outcome. METHODS A total of 120 patients with preexisting CHF who developed AKI between January 2005 and December 2010 were enrolled. CHF was diagnosed according to the European Society of Cardiology guidelines, and AKI was diagnosed using the RIFLE criteria. Clinical characteristics were recorded, and nonrecovery from kidney dysfunction as well as mortality were analyzed. RESULTS The median age of the patients was 70 years, and 58.33% were male. 60% of the patients had an advanced AKI stage ('failure') and 90% were classified as NYHA class III/IV. The 1-year mortality rate was 35%. 25.83% of the patients progressed to end-stage renal disease after 1 year. Hypertension, anemia, coronary atherosclerotic heart disease and chronic kidney disease were common comorbidities. Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS; OR, 35.950; 95% CI, 4.972-259.952), arrhythmia (OR, 13.461; 95% CI, 2.379-76.161), anemia (OR, 6.176; 95% CI, 1.172-32.544) and RIFLE category (OR, 5.353; 95% CI, 1.436-19.952) were identified as risk factors of 1-year mortality. For 1-year nonrecovery from kidney dysfunction, MODS (OR, 8.884; 95% CI, 2.535-31.135) and acute heart failure (OR, 3.281; 95% CI, 1.026-10.491) were independent risk factors. CONCLUSION AKI patients with preexisting CHF were mainly elderly patients who had an advanced AKI stage and NYHA classification. Their 1-year mortality and nonrecovery from kidney dysfunction rates were high. Identifying risk factors may help to improve their outcome.

Abstract
Preprocedural chronic kidney disease and contrast-induced acute kidney injury are predictors of in-hospital death and long-term mortality. However, neither the time course of kidney function after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) nor the relation between the time course of kidney function and prognosis has been adequately studied. We studied 531 patients who underwent PCI for acute coronary syndrome. The continuous deterioration of kidney function (CDKF) was defined as a >25% increase in serum creatinine level or serum creatinine >0.5 mg/dl above baseline at 6 to 8 months after PCI. CDKF was observed in 87 patients (16.4%). Independent risk factors for CDKF were contrast-induced acute kidney injury, preprocedural hemoglobin level, and proteinuria. Patients with CDKF exhibited significant higher 5-year mortality rate than patients without CDKF (25% vs 9.4%, log-rank p = 0.0006). Independent risk factors for 5-year mortality were age >75 year, anemia, New York Heart Association class III or IV, low ejection fraction, and CDKF. CDKF is associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality of 5 years in patients with acute coronary syndrome undergoing PCI.

Abstract
The organ crosstalk can be defined as the complex biological communication and feedback between distant organs mediated via cellular, molecular, neural, endocrine and paracrine factors. In the normal state, this crosstalk helps to maintain homeostasis and optimal functioning of the human body. However, during disease states this very crosstalk can carry over the influence of the diseased organ to initiate and perpetuate structural and functional dysfunction in the other organs. Heart performance and kidney function are intimately interconnected, and the communication between these organs occurs through a variety of bidirectional pathways. The cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) is defined as a complex pathophysiological disorder of the heart and the kidneys whereby acute or chronic dysfunction in one organ may induce acute or chronic dysfunction in the other organ. In particular, CRS type 1 is characterized by a rapid worsening of the cardiac function leading to acute kidney injury. This clinical condition requires a more complex management given its more complicated hospital course and higher mortality. A lot of research has emerged in the last years trying to explain the pathophysiology of CRS type 1 which remains in part poorly understood. This review primarily focuses on the hemodynamic and nonhemodynamic mechanisms involved in this syndrome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cystatin C (Cys C) has been implicated as a prognostic marker in cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the value of Cys C as a marker of acute kidney injury (AKI) in acute heart failure (AHF), the impact of Cys C and N-terminal probrain natriuretic peptides (NT-proBNP) on in-hospital and 12 months mortality were also investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 162 patients with AHF were enrolled. NT-proBNP, Cys C, serum creatinine (Scr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and parameters of echocardiography were measured for analyze. The in-hospital and 12 months mortality was analyzed. RESULTS There was 28 (17%) of all AHF patients with AKI. Compared with no-AKI patients, the levels of Cys C (1.51 ± 0.34 vs. 1.32 ± 0.29, P = 0.003) and NT-proBNP (8163.87 ± 898.06 vs. 5922.45 ± 576.73, P = 0.001) were higher in AKI patients. Higher levels of NT-proBNP (odds ratio (OR) = 1.92, 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.19-10.98, P = 0.018, OR = 4.31, 95% CI: 2.35-9.82, P = 0.002, respectively) and Cys C (OR = 1.48, 95% CI: 1.75-4.16, P = 0.027, OR = 2.72, 95% CI: 1.92-4.28, P = 0.017, respectively) were independent association with the in-hospital and 12 months mortality. Cys C was positively correlated with NT-proBNP (r = 0.87, P < 0.001). Combining tertiles of Cys C and NT-proBNP improved risk stratification further. Compared with patients without AKIcysC, patients with AKIcysC was associated with higher in-hospital (7/28 vs. 10/134, P = 0.002) and 12-month mortality (13/28 vs. 32/134, P = 0.001). CONCLUSION Cys C was not only a promising risk marker in patients hospitalized for AHF, but also an independent predictor of 12-month mortality. Combining tertiles of Cys C and NT-proBNP could be used to distinguish the mortality risk identification of patients with AHF. AKI was an independent predictor of in-hospital and 12-month mortality.

Abstract
Background Over one million patients are hospitalized each year with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) in the US. Approximately 20% to 40% of them will develop acute cardiorenal syndrome type 1 (ACRS1) via multiple mechanisms. Methods From January 2010 to December 2010, 197 patients were diagnosed with ADHF. Initial N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro BNP), creatinine levels throughout hospital stay, use of invasive mechanical ventilation, length of hospital stay and death were assessed for each patient. ACRS1 was diagnosed when an increase of creatinine > 0.3 mg/dL from baseline was noted during hospital stay. We sought to investigate whether presence of ACRS1 is associated with increased length of stay, need for mechanical ventilation and increased in-hospital mortality in patients admitted with ADHF. Results Total of 61 (31%) patients experienced ACRS1. Mean hospital stay for ACRS1 patients was 8.43 ± 6.28 days while for non-ACRS1 was 5.06 ± 4.19 (P < 0.0001). Twenty-eight (14%) patients required invasive mechanical ventilation (11 non-ACRS1 vs. 17 ACRS1). ACRS1 was associated with more frequent use of invasive ventilation (odd ratio 3.45, CI 1.52 - 7.79, P = 0.003). Fifteen (8%) patients expired (8 non-ACRS1 vs. 7 ACRS1). There was no difference in mortality between groups (odd ratio 2.07, CI 0.72 - 6.00, P = 0.18). Conclusions Development of ACRS1 was not associated with increased incidence of in-hospital mortality, but it prolonged hospital stay and need for mechanical ventilation.

Abstract
Cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) includes a broad spectrum of diseases within which both the heart and kidneys are involved, acutely or chronically. An effective classification of CRS in 2008 essentially divides CRS in two main groups, cardiorenal and renocardiac CRS, based on primum movens of disease (cardiac or renal); both cardiorenal and renocardiac CRS are then divided into acute and chronic, according to onset of disease. The fifth type of CRS integrates all cardiorenal involvement induced by systemic disease. This article addresses the pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes of the 5 distinct types of CRS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In current cardiology practice, the importance of acute cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) in determining the outcome of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is well recognized. Certain groups of ACS patients are at higher risk of developing CRS. Data on the association between right ventricular (RV) functions and CRS after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are scarce. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the relation between RV function and the development of CRS in patients presenting with inferior wall AMI and RV involvement. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with inferior wall AMI with RV involvement underwent echocardiography at admission to assess RV function. RV functions were quantified according to RV fractional area change (RVFAC), tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), and RV outflow tract fractional shortening (RVOTFS). The patients were followed up until discharge from hospital. All patients who developed CRS were included in group I, all patients who did not develop CRS were included in group II (controls). Multivariate analysis was carried out to determine the significance of the echocardiographic and clinical parameters in predicting the development of CRS in these patients. RESULTS In our study, a history of diabetes mellitus, cardiogenic shock at admission, and RVFAC and TAPSE could significantly predict the development of CRS in patients presenting with inferior wall AMI and RV involvement. CONCLUSIONS RV functions provide strong prognostic information regarding the development of CRS in patients of inferior wall AMI with RV involvement.
